Vacancy Lead AI Engineer
About the role
Artificial Intelligence is shaping the world of tomorrow. At Klippa we embrace AI and implement it in our fast growing SaaS solution. Since 2015, our team has been working hard every day on software to automatically classify, anonymise, parse, process and validate (data from) documents and images. As a result, Klippa now processes millions of documents and images per month, from customers all over the world.
To realise our ambitious growth plans, we are looking for a Lead AI Engineer for our Groningen office. In this role, you will be responsible for our AI strategy, ML operations, the knowledge level of the AI engineers and, of course, improving our model performance and resource efficiency.
At Klippa, we do things a little differently. We have a flat hierarchy that promotes ownership, speed and problem solving. Without micromanagement, we support talented, smart colleagues with ideas and autonomy. This also means lots of opportunities for growth, collaboration and leadership. As Lead AI engineer, you will work closely with our CTO, AI engineers (8FTE) and our in-house annotation team in Romania (5FTE).
